A massive restructuring of chromosomes was observed during the production of a substitution of chromosome 68" from Triticum speltoides (Tausch) Gren. ex Richter for chromosome 6B of Chinese Spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). Deletions, translocations, ring chromosomes, dicentric chromosomes and a paracentric inversion were observed. Chromosome rearrangements occurred in both euchromatic and h...

Hexaploid wheat consists of three subgenomes, namely, A, B, and D. These well-characterized ancestral genomes also exist at the diploid and tetraploid levels, thereby rendering wheat as a good model species for studying polyploidization. Here, we performed intra- and inter-species comparative analyses of wheat and its relatives to dissect polymorphism and differentiation of the TaGW2 genes. Our...

The classic wheat evolutionary history is one of adaptive radiation of the diploid Triticum/Aegilops species (A, S, D), genome convergence and divergence of the tetraploid (Triticum turgidum AABB, and Triticum timopheevii AAGG) and hexaploid (Triticum aestivum, AABBDD) species. We analyzed Acc-1 (plastid acetyl-CoA carboxylase) and Pgk-1 (plastid 3-phosphoglycerate kinase) genes to determine ph...

Plants are the most important source of Fe for humans and animals; therefore, its accumulation in edible plant parts is great importance. Since species, ecotypes, genotypes, lines, varieties may differ their ability to accumulate mineral elements, aim this study was i) examine grain Aegilops Triticum species with different genomes (AA, BB, BBAA, BBAADD), ii) relationship between level ploidy ac...

ABSTRACT Isolates of Puccinia triticina collected from durum wheat from Argentina, Chile, Ethiopia, France, Mexico, Spain, and the United States were analyzed with 11 simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers in order to determine the genetic relationship among isolates. These isolates also were compared with P. triticina isolates from common wheat from North America, and an isolate collected from A...

Abstract Background During the bread wheat speciation by polyploidization, a series of genome rearrangement and sequence recombination occurred. Simple repeat (SSR) sequences, predominately located in heterochromatic regions chromosomes, are effective marker for tracing genomic DNA variations. However, to date distribution dynamics SSRs on chromosomes its donors, including diploid tetraploid Tr...

Five accessions of Aegilops speltoides and 67 European wheat cultivars (winter and spring) originating from the Czech Republic, Germany, Poland, Russia, Slovakia, United Kingdom, and 4 non-European wheat cultivars from Brazil and the USA were examined with molecular Sequence Tagged Site (STS) markers for resistance genes to powdery mildew: Pm 1, Pm 2, Pm 3 and Pm 13. All markers gave clear, rep...

The sequences of x-type high-molecular-weight glutenin promoter (x-HGP) from 21 diploid Triticeae species were cloned and sequenced. The lengths of x-HGP varied from 897 to 955 bp, and there are 329 variable sites including 105 singleton sites and 224 polymorphic sites. Genetic distances of pairwise X-HGP sequences ranged from 0.30 to 16.40% within 21 species and four outgroup species of Hordeu...
